Which one is better out of D &E I would go for (D) as it is more concise, those refer to cars... and usually it's better to say research to develop cars instead of research for developing.

More X than Y is the correct idiomatic usage
X and Y must be grammatically and logically parallel
X=cars even more gasoline effecient
Lets see Y in options D and E
D
Y= Those ( Demonstrative pronoun used to refer the copy and not the actual antecedent..meaning the cars to be developed and card currently running on the road are different)= cars currently on the road
Comparison grammatical: Yes ( Cars-plural, those -plural)
Comparison logical: Yes ( Apples to Apples)
Hurray!!
Comparison is logical, grammitcally correct and meaningful
But lets not finish..Lets try E
X=cars even more gasoline effecient
Y= there is no mention about cars or even pronouns
Illogical comparison !
D
